Balance

•

My son, who lived in this house 26 years
went to new zealand 3 weeks ago and
"met more awesome people than I thought possible."

My cat of 7 years was used in a tug of war
by two pit bulls, still alive with open abdomen
had to be removed from her pain

Where is my synthesis
the middle is whetstone, the edges connect the stars in untranslatable ways
Whaze
amazed, bemused, commuted, demoted

My cat in new zealand
my son racing ferraris
the dog I never had cant text with his nose
Alaska thinks california moved to oregon so im being kamchatkaed by     wind from the wrong direction
as if the ocean wasn't between us, the bering zipper closing unexpectedly
the ring of fire now underwater borealii—
                                                This isnt about heat but electromagnetism
not about too much trying to occupy the same space
but learning how we hold together where everywhere is open, anyone
     can get credit,
if I like the way you walk you can represent me in congress
if you see the mountain smile prepare for hot and heavy

I understand "before" and "hour" but what do you mean by "darkest"
     and "dawn"
